An urban residential community with convenient access to the Capital Beltway
Adelphi is for those who want to trade the hustle and bustle of city life for an urban residential lifestyle in a historically rich area. It’s a census-designated community in Prince George's County just a few miles from College Park, and locals here enjoy vast green spaces ranging from small parks featuring oxen on the playground to untouched forest areas. With easy access to the Northwest Branch Trail, locals head on paths that wind alongside the Anacostia River’s northwest branch, making activities like hiking, fishing and horseback riding accessible within the community. Mid-century properties are common here, and houses in Adelphi feature a diverse range of styles. Residents in Adelphi have easy access to the University of Maryland, nearby shopping centers and restaurants that serve local flavors ranging from pupusas to pizzas. Juan Umanzor, a Realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate who has sold properties in the area, says, “The community is becoming very diverse. Many people in recent years are coming to this area from Washington D.C. because while it's a lot more affordable, it's still so close to everything." With easy access to the Capital Beltway north of Adelphi, locals can explore or commute to nearby areas of Maryland, Virginia and the D.C. area.

From ranch-style properties to Colonials: Diverse houses tucked away in nature
Adelphi’s neighborhoods are primarily filled with single-family homes, often mid-to-late 20th-century properties, ranging from smaller ranch-style dwellings to Cape Cods to larger Colonials. Split-level homes, condos and apartment complexes are also common here. Properties in Adelphi go for just upwards of $100,000 for a condo to upwards of $950,000 for a larger construction. Prices and styles here often depend on the property’s age, size and neighborhood. Homes sit on well-maintained, relatively spacious lots with mature trees lining the streets and scattered on yards, and since Adelphi is home to many green spaces, particularly on the edges of the community, many locals enjoy a quieter and seemingly remote living experience bordering forestland. Streets often spread into cul-de-sacs, and some neighborhoods feature sidewalks. Some residents don’t have garages, so many people here park on the streets.

Historic Mill Playground, trails along the stream and more activities outside
Adelphi’s green spaces range from several parks to undeveloped wooded areas sitting at the community’s border. The area around the 18th-century Adelphi Mill, the only surviving historic mill in the county and the largest in the D.C. area, offers visitors plenty to do outside. Children let their imaginations run loose at the Historic Flour Mill Playground, which is complete with the rustic hues of an ox-wagon-style slide and a climbing structure reminiscent of a watermill. Just behind the playground, hikers and equestrians head on the Northwest Branch Trail that meanders through dense vegetation along the tributary of the Anacostia River, making it a perfect spot to skip stones or fish for rainbow trout. Archers practice their aim at the Adelphi Manor Park, also home to a baseball field and playground. Locals will also have easy access to the University of Maryland Golf Course for those wanting to challenge their friends to a match or take a lesson to hone their skills further.
